"You have arrived". That is the notification on the Uber app once you reach the destination. Sadly that was not the case for me last Saturday. Even though I had reached the location that was sent to me, it turned out to be a wrong one.
I was out to meet an old school friend. He had messaged me the location of a place where he was playing cricket with his colleagues.
The name of the place was PowerPlay.
Turned out that, that just like in T-20 cricket, in the Whitefield area as well, there were two Powerplay arenas. And I had reached the wrong one.
The Arrival Fallacy had hit me.
This has happened with Uber cabs before as well, of course. I book a cab. A notification pops-up with the headline of "Arriving Now". I close the app and start the waiting process. Only to realize few minutes later that the driver cancelled.
